New work laptop! Awesome. The Lenovo T420 (1600×900 resolution) is even wider than my X220i. Setting it up was relatively painless, and I’m looking forward to using it to make next week even better.

Work was pretty hectic. Lots of progress on the different projects I’m working on. Still not wizardly fast with Rails, but glad to be able to quickly finish bugs and new features. Onwards!

Life: Wow, this was a school-heavy week. We photographed the Halloween party last Saturday in order to help out with the yearbook, we attended a secondary school information night, and we hosted a study group on Friday. Next week promises to be a bit lighter, and I’m looking forward to carving out more time for personal interests like writing and hacking.

Community-supported agriculture: The fall shares have started, and I’ve added minimal CSA-tracking to my home dashboard. Looking forward to playing with the data.
